The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At MYCELX Technologies
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Independent Non-Executive Chairman Thomas Lamb bought UK£134k worth of shares at a price of UK£0.50 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than UK£0.34 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. It’s very possible they regret the purchase, but it’s more likely they are bullish about the company. We always take a careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. It is generally more encouraging if they are paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.

Insider Ownership
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own.

This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
